Emilia Clarke's sci-fi movie The Pod Generation has been added to Netflix.
The film, which co-stars Doctor Strange's Chiwetel Ejiofor, is set in a future where couples are able to share pregnancies via detached pods, with the story focusing on the pair's characters Rachel and Alvy Novy as they use the artificial womb.
The streaming service has added the movie as of today in the UK and Ireland.
The Pod Generation landed mixed reviews upon its premiere in 2023, sitting at 42% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. The New York Times called it a "wickedly funny and fun, if disconcerting, film that arrives right on time for our age of ChatGPT and artificial intelligence doomerism".
Mashable wrote that it was "a clever and poignant comedy about the quirks of technology, privilege, and the inhumanity of having it all".

However, The Hollywood Reporter wrote in its review: "For all the movie’s quite credible conjecture about technology rendering nature obsolete and procreation becoming the privilege of the wealthy, The Pod Generation never fully hatches."
The film comes from writer and director Sophie Barthes and features Boiling Point's Vinette Robinson, The Last Kingdom's Eliza Butterworth and The Serpent Queen's Rosalie Craig.
Clarke is perhaps best known for playing Daenerys Targaryen in Game of Thrones, and will next be seen in Prime Video series Criminal, as well as a Netflix adaptation of Roald Dahl's The Twits.

"I think I underestimated the magical nature of being here and the ceremony of the whole thing," Clarke said after getting the award. "His Royal Highness William was just delightful and made us feel so comfortable."
The Pod Generation is available to stream now on Netflix in the UK and Ireland.
